"Greatest hat of all time! My first one took some abuse. In a very strong rain/wind storm the hat got turned inside out and tore the inner lining away from the foam.

That was on a Friday night. Monday morning, first thing, ordered a new one had to have it. Keeps the sun or your head and definitely says something about your personal style."

"I LOVE this hat. It is my favorite and the best I've ever had. I use it when I go paddling (canoeing and kayaking) or on the beach. It keeps the sun off my face so that even when I forget sunscreen I don't get burned. It also make a good rain hat."
